1
00:00:00,633 --> 00:00:01,301
(knocking)

2
00:00:01,301 --> 00:00:02,435
- Come in.

3
00:00:02,435 --> 00:00:04,104
- Hi, five minutes.

4
00:00:04,104 --> 00:00:05,038
- Okay. I'm ready.

5
00:00:05,038 --> 00:00:06,906
- Okay, perfect. Thank you.

6
00:00:06,906 --> 00:00:08,475
- The role that I love the most

7
00:00:08,475 --> 00:00:09,409
that Rita's played?

8
00:00:09,409 --> 00:00:10,243
Lydia.

9
00:00:11,845 --> 00:00:12,679
- Oh.

10
00:00:12,679 --> 00:00:13,513
(laughs)

11
00:00:13,513 --> 00:00:14,347
Oh my gosh.

12
00:00:14,347 --> 00:00:15,582
- I love that character

13
00:00:15,582 --> 00:00:19,352
because you get 
every bit of her.

14
00:00:19,352 --> 00:00:20,553
- Okay, here we go, guys.

15
00:00:20,553 --> 00:00:23,289
(crowd cheering)

16
00:00:27,527 --> 00:00:30,163
- We were looking 
for a grandmother,

17
00:00:30,163 --> 00:00:33,733
the mother of a glorious 
actress, Justina Machado.

18
00:00:33,733 --> 00:00:35,668
And there's only 
one Rita Moreno.

19
00:00:35,668 --> 00:00:37,404
- Pobrecito, papito

20
00:00:37,404 --> 00:00:38,671
He was so sad

21
00:00:38,671 --> 00:00:40,840
because he asked Chloe 
out and she said no.

22
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:43,676
But what did I tell you?

23
00:00:43,676 --> 00:00:45,712
I said, "You keep trying."

24
00:00:45,712 --> 00:00:47,047
"Wear her down."

25
00:00:47,047 --> 00:00:48,815
(audience laughs)

26
00:00:48,815 --> 00:00:51,418
"Don't take no for an answer."

27
00:00:51,418 --> 00:00:53,920
(audience laughs)

28
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:55,155
- Lydia is my mom.

29
00:00:55,155 --> 00:00:56,289
She is my mom.

30
00:00:56,289 --> 00:00:58,158
That is my mom's accent.

31
00:00:58,158 --> 00:01:01,461
But there's a big caveat here.

32
00:01:01,461 --> 00:01:04,330
It's easy to fall 
into caricature

33
00:01:04,330 --> 00:01:07,033
with her because she's so big.

34
00:01:07,033 --> 00:01:09,069
- It is never over.

35
00:01:11,371 --> 00:01:12,238
- But I'm big.

36
00:01:12,238 --> 00:01:14,140
I'm as big as you get.

37
00:01:14,140 --> 00:01:16,409
I may be petite, but I am big.

38
00:01:16,409 --> 00:01:17,710
That's me.

39
00:01:17,710 --> 00:01:20,480
But you have to be so careful

40
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:22,615
with a character like that.

41
00:01:22,615 --> 00:01:25,618
- The stereotype comes from 
how others tell our story.

42
00:01:25,618 --> 00:01:27,954
I'm interested in how 
we tell our story.

43
00:01:27,954 --> 00:01:30,423
We're always-they're 
going to tell our story

44
00:01:30,423 --> 00:01:31,257
however they're 
going to tell it.

45
00:01:31,257 --> 00:01:33,960
And that's what it is.

46
00:01:33,960 --> 00:01:35,428
But when we tell our story,

47
00:01:35,428 --> 00:01:37,864
who are we choosing to 
put up on that screen?

48
00:01:37,864 --> 00:01:39,299
I think that's another 
part of the conversation.

49
00:01:39,299 --> 00:01:41,801
